Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.

Could this be phrased something like: "Is まで inclusive or exclusive when marking a range of dates?" I'm trying to think of how this question could be more easily found by others in the future.

I assume that it is a notice received from a library (please include the context in the question). The notice means that borrowing by you is suspended until Feb. 13, inclusive, and therefore you cannot check out library materials on Feb. 13.

With respect, the context was clear enough.

@user18597: Although the context is clear to those who know Japanese enough, that is not a valid reason not to include the context in the question. If you want others to treat your questions seriously, you should not be lazy when stating questions.

Tsuyoshi, perhaps you could have included the context in comment or edit to the original question, and in your answer just addressed whether まで is always inclusive or not. As it is I don't know from your answer.
